Regulation of Plant Mineral Nutrition: Transport, Sensing and Signalling

Dear Colleagues,

Plants have evolved highly effective transport, sensing and signaling systems to ensure acquisition of sufficient minerals for growth and development. This Special Issue entitled “Regulation of Plant Mineral Nutrition: Transport, Sensing and Signaling” aims to offer an insight into newly identified genes/regulatory pathways or metabolites involved in the regulation of ion homeostasis in plants. These include, but are not limited to: (i) effects of limitation or excess of various macro- and microelements on plant growth capacity; (ii) effects of components of global climate changes (drought, CO₂, heat, etc.) on the regulation of ions transport and assimilation. Guest editors, Hatem Rouached and Lam-Son Phan Tran, welcome critical review articles as well as original research articles related to this topic. Please note that all accepted articles of this Special Issue will be available through free access, which offers the highest possible exposure of the published papers to the public.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
